Headline: | Netware 6.5 sp7/Driver 1.12/Getting Abends upon running DTS |
Description: | Created 8 VDs, and did a scan all in order to see all the VDs created.
I then partitioned and formated the VD's through NSSMU. I started DTS /i /h /g. The system abended right away. I tried this again with just 64kb stripe 8 R1 arrays. And the machine just rebooted. When the system came up again, the system abended loading the driver. In order to get back into the system, I had to delete the 8VDs in WebBIOS, then the system will boot up. |
Version of Bug Reported: | 1.12 |
Version of Bug Fixed: | 1.13 |
Steps to Reproduce: | Create 8 arrays as follow:
Create 2xR1 with 8k stripe Create 2xR1 with 16k stripe Create 2xR1 with 32k stripe Create 2xR1 with 64k stripe Partition and format with NSSMU. I cannot use GUI, ,since my mouse does not work. Started DTS /i /h /g System will Abend |
Resolution: | Fixed |
Resolution Description: | Abend issue has been fixed |
Suggested Testing: | same as steps to reproduce. When there are more than 3 VDs mounted for running i/o, netware will unmount some volumes because of resource limitation in skinny. |
